Football superstar Neymar underwent successful surgery after tearing his cruciate ligament on Thursday in Belo Horizonte.
This was announced by the hospital in the Brazilian city. “We are very happy with the result,” said the treating surgeon Rodrigo Lasmar.
Neymar tore his anterior cruciate ligament two weeks ago in the defeat in the World Cup qualifiers in Uruguay (0-2). The 31-year-old, who has been under contract with Al Hilal in Saudi Arabia since the summer, will be out for several months.
